Study: Fasting for Three Days Can Regenerate the Entire Immune System of Humans

Fasting is an abstinence of reduction of foods and drinks for a period of time which has numerous positive effects on our health. Thanks to its amazing effect on weight, fasting has become quite popular in recent years. People who have tried fasting or low-calorie diets claim that they have improved their longevity and feel much better than before, and what they’re saying might be true.

According to a new study conducted by scientists at the University of Southern California, a 3-day fast can completely regenerate your immune system and make the body stronger than ever before. After discovering this information, scientists believe that fasting may become a great natural method that can help people rebuild their immune system.

The study showed that fasting boosts the production of white blood cells which the body needs in order to protect itself. Our immune systems are constantly under attack by internal and external threats, but we can rebuild them and make them stronger simply by fasting for 3 days.

“Fasting tells our cells it’s OK to start proliferating and rebuild the immune system. Even better, the body removes and eliminates the old and damaged part of the systems with completely new parts during the process,” says Professor Valter Longo, leader of the study. “If you have undergone a treatment of chemotherapy, fasting can literally provide a new healthy immune system for your body.”

Besides rebuilding your body’s defenses, fasting can also improve your sleeping, help you lose weight and boost your energy levels, so there’s no reason not to try it.
